One hot fashion item this season for is Jeggings. A.K.A. the skinniest of Skinny Jeans. They are leggings, that look like jeans and in our opinion, they must only look good on “stick legs.” Lol. The other day when Court and I were trying on some jeans, we decided to see how these Jeggings would look on us. I mean they looked cute on the manikin, right? Lol. Wow, they did not look good on muscular thighs. But who am I kidding, regular leggings don’t even look that good on muscular legs. Jeggings are a Fashion Bust for us! What about you guys? Would you say Jeggings are a fashion must or fashion bust?

After finding this Carmel Toffee Fudge flavored Protein powder online at www.bodybuilding.com, I could not resist and ordered the 2 lb one for only $24! On other websites, it was about $40. After waking up with no idea what to make for breakfast the doorbell rang and this beauty was waiting on the door step. So suddenly only one thing came to mind… PROTEIN PANCAKES!

Check it out 24 g of protein.

1 HUGE scoop!

So here are the simple ingredients that pulled this meal together 🙂 We put all of these ingredients into the blender:

I did the calorie count on this recipe and without toppings it has about 309 calories. ENJOY!

Whit and I topped our pancakes with greek yogurt and chocolate pb. You guys have gotta try these ASAP!

Today Whit and I have went down to our community college to pay for our classes, worked out, and made this fabulous Diet Coke Cake. I cannot wait to have a slice of this tonight for dessert. All you have to do for this cake is use any kind of cake mix you would like(we always use yellow cake) then mix in a 16 ounce diet coke into it. There is no oil, milk, eggs, just the soda. So easy! I love this cake. It is so moist and you do not even need frosting. 😛

For lunch Whit threw a bunch of greens, tuna, and veggies into a giant salad.

Top it off with some light italian dressing and your set. This is a no fail, easy, salad!

Oh and the best part was these juicy grape fruit slices. Such a clean meal.

Lately it has been hotter than blazes in our house so last night Whit and I needed something cold to cool us off. We thought to create a frozen treat with nothing other than Shakeology. This stuff rocks! If you skimped on veggies or greens during the day, then ya better drink up!
We call this Shakeology creation…Chocolate Mint Protein Ice Cream!

1/2 cup almond milk

1/2 cup water

1 scoop choc. Shakeology

1 tsp. instant coffee granules

1/2 tbs. carob chips

3 drops mint extract

sprinkle guar and xanthum gum

ice

Freeze for an hour and ENJOY!

This morning Whit and I were craving PANCAKES, protein pancakes that is! They are so yummy, satisfying and they kind of have a french toast texture. They never fail to impress me 🙂 Today we decided on raspberry, carob chip, coconut ones. The inspiration for these came from the ammazzing Pinkberry I had last month.

1. Start by pouring 1/2 cup of old-fashioned oats into a bowl.

2. Then add 3/4 cup of egg whites.

3. Next add 1 sweetener packet of your choice.

4. Then add 2/3 cup of raspberries!

5. 1/2 TBS. carob chips

6. 1 TBS unsweetened coconut

7. A little under 1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce

8. Stir all of the ingredients together.

Then measure our 1/4 cup and pour into a skillet. When the edges start to bubble then flip the pancake 😛

This recipe should make 5-6 pancakes. ENJOY!

Paired with some iced Lipton Caramel Tea and this is a meal fit for a queen! lol.

We topped ours with some yogurt and a little brown rice syrup.

Well guys today it hit 100 degrees! So our mom FINALLY let us turn on the air conditioning in the house for the first time this Summer. Hallelujah! I swear I looked like a hot sweaty mess today.

Our afternoon consisted of some 15 HITT action with the sistas, this odd lunch pair that I have been craving, and oh yeah some retail therapy!

I swear Lean Pockets keep coming out with better and better flavors!

Who says you cannot have a sweet potato with a Lean Pocket? In my world lunches like this always exist! lol.

I fueled myself with this cinna-puffin yogurt mess before leaving to SHOP! Let me tell ya’ on a hot day like today nothing feels better than shopping in a nice air-conditioned store. And plus you can get in some good cardio too! 😉

I was cravin’ something spicy for dinner tonight so I used some jalapeno hummus and made a grilled turkey wrap.

Look at those awesome grill marks. This girl knows her stuff, huh!

Tomorrow is back to boring work. YUCK! But at least we do not have to close 🙂 All of your questions for our next vlog have gotten the creative juices flowing, so keep the questions coming!

Hello Loves!

I am exhausted having worked the past three days from 8-4:30. I was so tired when I got home and my feet and back were killing me. Whit and I skipped our workout yesterday because we had too many things on the to-do list and once again were unbearably tired. We thought about skipping it again, but you cannot skip your workout every single time you are tired. So we popped in 30 day shred and did a quickie 25 min. workout. I was glad I at least did something in the end. Some movement is better than none! How do you deal with exhaustion and working out?

Right now I am watching the Princess Diaries on Disney channel. Man I love the Disney Channel! I am practically a senior and nothing stops me from watching it haha 🙂

Well breakfast was as promised: Protein PancakesCarob Chip Goji Pancakes!

Our breakfast cookie was so good that we had to give pancakes a try with carob chips and goji berries.

This mornings words of wisdom from my cup of vanilla hazelnut yogi tea.

Todays lunch packed was a mixed greens salad, served alongside a Bora Bora bar, and some strawberries & cherries.

Bora Bora sent us a variety of bars to sample, some coupons, tattoos, and some chapstick(which is some of the softest I have tried in a long time).

This company makes three kind of bars:

ENERGY

SUPERFOOD

ANTIOXIDANT

Whit and I each grabbed a bar out of the stash and split them at lunch. We picked these two…

**VERDICT: This one was my least favorite out of the two. It did not taste anything like coconut. It just tasted like hard rice krispies. The ingredient list however is very impressive!

**VERDICT: This bar actually did have lots of flavor and it was very soft. Now this is the kind of bar you want to eat. It had the perfect hint flavor of honey and was packed with plenty of nuts and seeds 🙂

Today was just madness! It was $2 Tuesday at Einstein’s. Everybody and their mom came in. Whit and I were both Barista’s today. I was running around like a mad women. And the worst thing was I left on the lid when I was brewing some coffee and it spilled out everywhere right during the rush!

When we came home we both whipped up our own yogurt messes. This was mine.

After we finally got our work out over with then we had a sweet barley salad and a sweet potato.
